He assaulted both of them, one of which he followed for a period of time before coming up behind her, grabbing her hair and punching her in the face.

As a result of this, the victim suffered swelling to her face and a concussion.

“The other victim he assaulted whilst she was pushing along her child in a buggy, and when she tried to hold onto her bag, he punched her numerous times. This resulted in the victim sustaining bruising to her face that was so severe it was painful for her to even speak to officers.

“These were terrifying ordeals for both women.

“I hope that this sentence shows these victims that Suffolk Police will not stand for incidents like this and offenders will be arrested and held accountable for their actions.”
